Teenagers 13-17 y.o.

From September 2011 onwards, secondary school students will be assessed before the start of the course so as to place them in class-groups at their correct level of French.
We strongly believe that the Alliance Fran?ise must offer something more to students than what is offered in secondary school. With this aim, the Alliance offers the following to secondary school students:

- The opportunity to learn French with qualified native French teachers who place an emphasis on oral work and pronunciation.
- A precise assessment to place them in the most suitable class-group.
- A specially designed curriculum for their age group, adapted to their environment and interests.
- Small class-groups (max. 15 students) in order to focus on communication.
- The opportunity to practise French through a diverse range of activities and projects.
- The opportunity to sit the European DELF Junior exams in order to officially assess their level of French on an international scale.
- The option for students to join our special exam preparation classes for the Junior and Leaving certificate exams.
- The Passeport pour le fran?is, a very useful document to keep track of your level.
- The FFT: Fun French for Teens activities.

Description of the course. The curriculum of the classes follow the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).
Therefore, it is important to know that complete beginners should start at the level 101.
Non beginners students must be assessed before enrolling in a class.

Covenant Form. Please complete and return the covenant form to the teacher during the first class.

Placement Test. Students are divided into groups according to their age and level of fluency. If your child is not a complete beginner he/she must take a placement test before registering.
